In Europe's top five leagues, apart from the Premier League, the other four major leagues have a two- to three-week winter break during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Only the Premier League does not, the Premier League not only does not have a winter break, but the schedule around New Year's Day is particularly intensive, almost every 3 days. Overseas players who play in the Premier League have a hard time going home to reunite with their loved ones during the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

For coaches or players who have been in the Premier League, they are used to days without a winter break, but for those who move from the Premier League to a club such as Serie A, or from a club such as Serie A to the Premier League, there is a world of difference.

In the past, after playing the last league game before Christmas, Chen Yu packed his luggage and prepared to return to China the next day, but when he came to Liverpool, Chen Yu could only spend time in boring and cold training and games.

It was just six o'clock after Watford attended the press conference, but it was already dark, Chen Yu drove home, and Zhao Duyu had already prepared a steaming meal.

It's been almost two months since I came back from the United States, Zhang Youzhen's clinic has opened in Chinatown, but Zhao Duyu's entrepreneurial plan has not yet been implemented, after all, opening a fashion store is not the same as opening a clinic, the clinic loses at most a rent, and the fashion store is to buy, she is not familiar enough with all aspects of Liverpool, and if she does it rashly, maybe she will lose money, Zhao Duyu is unwilling to use Chen Yu's money, her funds are left behind by selling her hometown house, opening a store is enough, but it definitely can't stand the toss.

Zhang Youzhen ate in the clinic, Zhang Shubin had a party outside, and only Chen Yu and Zhao Duyu ate at home, after eating, Chen Yu said: "Muyu, how are you going to spend Christmas?" ”

Zhao Duyu said sullenly: "It's like in previous years." ”

Chen Yu said: "You grew up in Italy, why aren't you interested in Christmas at all?" ”

Zhao Duyu said: "You don't have a holiday, my godfather wants to go back to China to spend Christmas with my godmother, Sister Youzhen doesn't like to celebrate the foreign festival, how can I be interested." ”

Chen Yu was slightly stunned and said, "Is Uncle Zhang going back to China?" ”

Zhao Duyu said: "Yes, my godfather now has some funds in hand, and I am ready to invest in China, and when you retire, he also wants to hand over the foreign business to Brother Zhang Han to return to China to support his own retirement, and his godfather has been adrift overseas for so many years, and he is also a little tired." Recently, I have often heard him talk about his youth. ”

Chen Yu sighed and said: "Also, Uncle Zhang is so old, he is out socializing every day, worrying, no wonder he has the idea of retreating bravely." When I get old, I may go back to the mainland. ”

Zhao Duyu said faintly: "You can all return to the roots, I don't even have roots." ”

Seeing Zhao Duyu's pitiful appearance, Chen Yu touched her head, "Silly girl, what are you sighing, brother is your root, where your little brother is, I will take you wherever I am." ”

Zhao Duyu shook his head and said: "Coax me like a child again, if you want to get married, your daughter-in-law will let you bring a sister with a different surname." ”

Chen Yu smiled dumbly and said, "You only said that I want to get married, don't you get married?" ”

Zhao Duyu said very resolutely: "I don't get married, I won't marry in my life." ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly, she understood what Zhao Duyu meant by this, Zhao Duyu also confessed to him, he also liked this little sister very much, but he now has a girlfriend who is famous all over the world, and his girlfriend is also good to him, let him abandon Knightley and choose Zhao Duyu, he can't make such a decision.

After being silent for a while, Chen Yu chose a topic and said: "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, we may have an early end of training in the afternoon, I will take you and Youzhen around Merseyside in the evening, and the day after tomorrow Christmas, we will have a reunion dinner together, after coming to Liverpool, I haven't had time to see the memorial of the Beatles and the Titanic, nor have I seen the largest Christian church in the United Kingdom." ”

Zhao Duyu pursed his lips and said, "You only know how to play football, and there are many things you haven't seen in Merseyside." But you're in your girlfriend's hometown, won't she come to see you at Christmas? ”

Chen Yu said: "It's not clear now, let's live together when we come, it's not a big deal." ”

While the two were talking, Zhang Shubin and Zhang Youzhen came back together.

Zhang Shubin said excitedly to Chen Yu: "We have almost negotiated the endorsement contract with Reebok, 4.5 million pounds a year, which is higher than what Nike and Adidas give, but if Reebok is not Liverpool's jersey sponsor, we can't get this price." ”

Chen Yu smiled and said: "That's for sure, Reebok definitely doesn't want me to wear Adi or Nike shoes to participate in Liverpool's games." ”

Zhang Shubin said: "It is estimated that Reebok has also seen that your jersey sales in Liverpool are booming, and now it has only surpassed Gerrard in a month." ”

Chen Yu said: "England is worthy of being the hometown of modern football, the football atmosphere is so good, so quickly accepted me as a Chinese." ”

Zhang Shubin laughed and said: "We also have a relationship with the UK, and we have been dealing with each other for almost 200 years." ”

Zhang Youzhen said: "Yes, they used opium to invade us back then, and now we are using football to capture Britain." ”

Chen Yu said: "Your brain is full of these things, not even a Christmas, old feudal." ”

Zhang Youzhen said lightly: "What does Christmas have to do with us Chinese, why do we spend it." ”

Zhang Shubin said with a smile: "In fact, the festival is to find an excuse to take a break, Xiao Yu, Youzhen, Mu Yu, how do you arrange Christmas, the disadvantage of playing football in the UK is that there is no winter break, fortunately, Christmas is not our traditional festival, so let's join in the fun." ”

Zhang Youzhen said: "I want to be on duty, but." ”

Zhao Duyu looked at Chen Yu and did not speak.

Chen Yu smiled: "I don't have anything to do, I have to train, I don't have time, at most I just go to the church and come back for a meal, I heard Mu Yu say that Uncle Zhang is going back to China for Christmas, isn't it?" ”

Zhang Shubin said: "Yes, the main thing is to go back to deal with a little business, this is not thanks to you, I have some money in hand in the past two years, I have set up a real estate company in the imperial capital, bought a piece of land, and is ready to open during Christmas." ”

Chen Yu also has real estate investment in the imperial capital, but he doesn't ask too much, mainly because his old classmates are taking care of it, and he doesn't know much about domestic real estate, but he just heard his old classmates say that the real estate in the imperial capital is very hot now, and their company's profits have doubled in just one year.

"Uncle Zhang has a good eye, if you have money in hand, you should invest it, and the broker business will not be done for a long time, after all, this is the territory of Europeans."

Zhang Shubin said: "Yes, without you, the players here will not trust us." You are retired, and I will rest assured that I will hand over the business to Zhang Han, and return to China to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to retire. ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang is ready for retirement, I don't know when it will be." ”

Zhao Duyu said: "You are at the peak of your career, and Sister You's clinic has also opened, and I haven't started my business yet." ”

Zhang Shubin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Muyu, you have only been in the UK for a few days, you have to be patient in your career, you will inspect and inspect again, and when I come back, I will help you open the store." ”

Zhao Duyu said: "Thank you, godfather, aren't I idle, you all go out to be busy, only I am bored at home alone." ”

Zhang Youzhen was still wearing a Chinese ethnic style dress, she listened to Zhao Duyu's words, and said: "Muyu, if you are bored, go to the clinic to help me, and by the way, you can also learn a little medical skills." ”

Zhao Duyu said: "What kind of help do you have there, there are no patients at all." ”

Zhang Youzhen said with a smile: "This time and that time, after Chen Yu went to my clinic twice, there are many patients now, and I am a little too busy." ”

Zhao Duyu was very surprised and said, "Really, I thought you were very idle and ready to go out with you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

Zhang Youzhen said: "Play? There's no time, I can't close the door......"

Zhao Duyu said: "It's really troublesome to be a doctor, but do you also open a business during the Spring Festival?" ”

Zhang Youzhen thought for a while and said: "I have to go back once during the Spring Festival, I haven't been back for more than half a year since I went abroad, even if I develop here in the future, I have to go back to see my master and father." ”

Chen Yu said: "That's to go back, the Spring Festival is our Chinese festival." When the time comes, Sister Mu Yu will also go back with the young needle, help me see my grandparents, my competition is very dense and I don't have time to go back. ”

Zhang Youzhen took Zhao Duyu's hand and said, "Okay." Muyu, go back with me. ”

Zhao Duyu said: "It's only a few days now, and there is still more than a month until the Spring Festival." ”

Zhang Youzhen heard Chen Yu say that the game was intensive, and said: "Chen Yu, you still have to be careful now, your body has just recovered, excessive fatigue, or being maliciously fouled again, will cause great damage to your ligaments, in addition, go to my clinic when you are fine, I will give you a massage." ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "Advertise me again, can't you massage here?" ”

"This is home, not work." Zhang Youzhen had a face, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll pay attention." Actually, it's hard for me to get tired even if I want to, and now Benitez and the team doctor won't let me play more. ”

Zhang Youzhen said: "That's right." ”

Everyone was talking and chatting and watching TV, and it was almost ten o'clock in a blink of an eye, Zhang Shubin looked at his watch and said, "It's not early, let's rest early." ”

Zhao Duyu yawned and said, "I was sleepy first, and I slept first." ”

Zhang Youzhen said: "I'm also up to time." ”

Chen Yu was watching a football program and said, "You guys go to sleep first, I'll sleep later." ”

After Zhang Shubin and the three of them went to sleep, Chen Yu watched football for another half an hour before returning to the bedroom to rest, he just pushed open the bedroom door, and the mobile phone rang, it was Kayla. Knightley called, Knightley told Chen Yu that she spent Christmas in the United States and would not return to the UK, Chen Yu didn't feel anything when she heard it, the two of them were busy people, they didn't spend more than two months together all year round, and they were used to parting, and the two sides hung up the phone after saying a few words to each other about their recent situation.
